James R. Marty CPA, ABV

Jim Marty has been a CPA in Colorado since 1983. In his 30 plus years of experience Jim has been a sole practitioner, partner and managing partner in various practice combinations. Jim decided, after considerable due diligence in the fall of 2009, to accept cannabis clients in the burgeoning Colorado market. In 2014 his cannabis practice surpassed his traditional practice in billings. January 1, 2015 he merged his traditional practice into Brock and Company, Inc., a 50 person firm with five offices in Colorado. Today Jim services his more than 200 marijuana clients from all across the country through Bridge West, the first national CPA firm devoted to the cannabis industry. Over the last six years Jim has signed hundreds of tax returns for the marijuana industry, provided expert witness testimony and prepared valuation reports in marijuana business disputes and assisted his clients with numerous IRS, state and local audits. Mr. Marty is also an advocate for the legalization of marijuana and works hard to normalize banking and IRS rules that relate to the industry.
